Bonus TL;DR
- Octoplay recently received interim authorization from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to supply online casino games to licensed state operators.
- The recent regulatory approval expands the North American footprint of the gaming provider into a third major United States market.
Octoplay has received interim authorization from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, allowing the supplier to offer its games to licensed operators in the state.
The approval expands Octoplay’s US footprint to a third state, after earlier launches in New Jersey and Michigan. It also gives the company access to one of the country’s largest regulated iGaming and online casino markets as it continues to prioritize North America.
Pennsylvania adds another major US market
Octoplay said the Pennsylvania approval is part of a broader North American push that has also included launches in Alberta and prior US entries.
The company first debuted in New Jersey in June 2025 with BetMGM. It later launched in Michigan in December 2025 with BetMGM, FanDuel and Rush Street Interactive.
In Canada, Octoplay also went live in Alberta with seven tier-one operators, including BetMGM, FanDuel and DraftKings.
Martina Borg Stevens, Octoplay’s chief legal officer, said regulatory signoff remains central to the company’s growth strategy.
> “Regulatory approval is the foundation of everything we do commercially, and we treat it that way,” Stevens said.
She added that Pennsylvania’s standards made the authorization especially significant for the supplier’s US expansion.
> “Pennsylvania sets one of the highest bars in the United States and we met it. That puts our content in three of the largest regulated states in the country and gives us the platform to keep building across North America,” Stevens said.
What happens next in Pennsylvania
The interim authorization allows Octoplay to supply content to licensed operators in Pennsylvania, but the source material did not say which operators will carry the games or when content will go live.
Those details remain key next steps for the market rollout. The source also did not specify whether the interim approval is subject to additional licensing steps beyond the authorization announced Monday.
Octoplay said it is now approved in 20 regulated jurisdictions overall, spanning markets in Europe and North America. The company also pointed to recent momentum in the US supplier market, noting that it ranked as #1 New Overall Top Supplier in the Eilers & Krejcik Gaming US index for four consecutive months, from April through July.
For Pennsylvania operators, the authorization gives them another approved content supplier to work with. For Octoplay, it marks another regulatory milestone in a US market where access is determined state by state.
